My CEL light is on, I know you used to be able to get away with it before saying that the car isn't running right. They then used to pink slip you giving enough time to gat a cat back on and a quick emmisions test at a MOT station.

This may have changed now though.

yep, but only once.

Although on a stretch of road I used to drive on I've seen them on at least 4-6 occasions in 2 years.
